"Why do some of the recipients of Mozilla money appear to be nothing more than empty shells of companies — not even having a simple website?" This is exactly how many readers here at hacker news also run their business: you need a

"Where does Mozilla spend those donated dollars?" should really read "Where does the Mozilla Foundation spend those donated dollars?" Because although the author conflates Foundation and Corporation they are in fact sepa

How would you donate to Firefox? Firefox is the result of many things that cost money. That includes many expenditures like people's salary, toilet paper for the offices and a JIRA license. It is a serious question - how do you expect

I think one mistake in this article is calling .Mac a successor of CyberDog. This is incorrect because if I can remember correctly CD was just a set of programs and APIs on the client side. Unlike .Mac there was no service component attache

It is not comparable. But which one is “better” is completely subjective.

Why is it wild? They are not telling you to not use UserDefaults anymore. The only thing you have to do is say “I store the users preferred sort order of the thinger list in UD” or whatever your non-malicious app does. There is no magic her

The last thing I usually want to do on something in production is upgrade all the things and hope for the best or potentially spend a lot of time fixing things. FWIW I think all the BSDs suffer from this. Not just OpenBSD.

My experience is that OpenBSD works best if you don’t go too much outside of what comes with the distribution. As soon as you install packages you are going to be dealing with incompatibilities between OpenBSD releases and dealing with a lo

I upvoted this because I have a lot of love for FreeBSD and I think Jails are great. However, I really wish the FreeBSD folks would educate themselves a bit more about what is actually available on Linux and how those options compare to Fre
